What does it mean to be obsessed? The first thing you are probably thinking about is your crazy ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. Remember the non stop text messaging. The never ending phone-calls. Late night knocks on your door. (Crazy Ex– Hey, its me let me in You-NO Crazy Ex-I just want to talk You-No You-I’m calling 911) This type of obsessed calls for the police (seriously, call 911.ahah) The official definition is the following: Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety. Now I’ve read numerous articles about how being obsessed with “success” is bad for the mind, spirit, and how it takes an unrealistic look on life in general. Okay, I believe this partially. But it depends how you use and determine the term. Here is what is okay for you to be obsessed with (Tell me if I’m wrong). Be obsessed with doing well ( not overly obsessed that failing or making a mistake causes you to work or try poorly the next time) Be obsessed with work ethic (But not overly obsessed that your daily routine or schedule has to change and you find your self taking on to much) Be obsessed with being AWESOME (But not overly obsessed that your ego is overwhelming for others) Be your self. Be obsessed with being you. Those who are AWESOME are obsessed. Obsessed
